#2I though it was (1) Don't have kids, (2) Don't have kids and (3) Don't have kids. No? :)

Productivity that will eventually result in the extinction of mankind? :)

Fuck it, let other people worry about the extinction of humanity -- they can have the kids. The genetic differences between all of us are pretty minor anyway, so one's as good as another.
Who knows who Aristotle's kids were anyway?

Even if we rule out the possibility of human race going extinct (which is quite improbable anyway?), isn't missing on a family life (wife and kids) quite a huge compromise in pursuit of some vague definition of 'productivity'?

#7This ensures that you finish at least the top three tasks everyday. A good start.
There is a subset of people who have more than three tasks with equal priority to be done on a daily basis. They will still be overwhelmed, since the carried over tasks over a period of time will be too much to handle for the "role of 3" way.

#8This is a variant of David Allen's Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology. Instead of three items, he recommends always knowing what the most important task is for any project, and doing that.
Definitely worth a look.

If you don't want to marry or have kids, you're not really compromising anything.
imho, it's about being honest with yourself about what you want.

You say this in jest, but I also don't understand how people chose to have a full-time job (even worse, a startup) AND kids (not judging anyone, I just do not understand it). There clearly aren't enough hours in a day to manage both as well as they deserve and not live a stressful life.
Before you reach for that downvote button, this is what I am personally doing:
- try to become financially independent (with the sweat and all-nighters that go along with it, when needed)
- if (and only IF) I ever manage to do so, start a family with the good conscience that I will have the means to be there as a father
- if not, rinse and repeat until I do
Does it make any sense?
